See Boatman.com We have a 26' cat with a 454 w/procharger. A very iunique yellow hull with orange/red flames. Nice reward fro clues leading the the recovery.
Also missing the engines from the 42' Fountain stolen from Havasu last year. Someone has the HP500Efi's and drives.

Most boats are stolen on the trailer. This one was stolen from a locked storage facility, a burglary.
Quite frankly Hot Boat could serve all boaters well by adding a stolen boat section. I cannot tell you how much of this is going on, but we have been non stop since last July. Nearly every theft a go-fast boat in the tri-state area.
Like the police, we/boat theft vicitms are always looking for information and work hand in hand with police detectives. The difference is we can keep informant info to ourselves and pay rewards through insurance companies. Look at to 100 boats with photos on the Boatman.com site now!
The Hot Boat "family" is an asset as we often receive info from readers.
Thanks for the info, also I'd just like to add that I heard of boaters getting there boats stolen on the water. But you know how rumors start! I will do my part and keep an eye out for your boat or someone parting out a boat that doesn't look legit.
I had a good freind's boat at Parker Red Rock camp ground anchored in front. Someone late at nite floated down cut the anchor line floated the boat down the river and stole all his stereo gear (big bucks). He found his boat down the river up on rocks. My parents live in Havasu and they tell me all the time of the crap going on with boat theft and stealing stereo stuff from the boats. We do need to catch these punks and put a stop to this. I here the big thing now is to steal the boat on the trailer out of storage and even out of their summer house. Take them out to desert and strip them motors and all. I agree Hot Boat should have a section for stolen boats and other items like motors and stereo equipment. You have my vote for it.

Holy shiat, That is a friend of mine's boat. I'll have to give him a call. When he put it at Windsor Beach Storage, I always thought that it was a very secure place. Don't you need a key card to get in and out of that storage.
At most storage facilities a code, key, orencoded card will permit entry. They could all do well to have digital cameras that photo all vehicles departing. It has become an issue. Remember, if you have it, someone out there wants it. LoJack will work on boats but has a limited activation area. Coupler locks like Gorilla work well, at least from a time. The loud banging to remove it causes people to look.
Lookout for each other and report all fools selling engines, drives to cheap to the PD.
In Havasu call Det. Sterling 928/854-1252.
Has anyone been able to find a couple lock for a 2 5/16 ball (Extreme trailer)? I haven't been able to find one big enough... Thanks!
